COMPACT HOLDER.

Application filed November 17, 1925, Serial No. 69,591. Renewed October 9, 1928.

compass. For this purpose I have devised a novel bifurcated tray for holding two i cakes of compact powder on oneside of the compact holder.

Further objects of the invention will be apparent from the drawings in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the entire holder and accompanying powder puff showing my improved tray in position. Y

Figure 2 is a sectional view along the line 2-2 of Figure 1. Figure 3 is a plan view of the improved tray which is the particular object of this invention.

Figure 4: is a side elevation of said tray.

Figure 5 is a side elevation of said tray in folded position.

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the three elements constituting my improved tray.

A and B are the conventional hollow members forming the body of the usual compact and joined by a hinge of ordinary construcan tion, C. Within the members A and B are held a. toilet. powder compact D of the usual form and in the tray E fully shown in Figures 3 and 6, two separate semi-circular discs of toilet compact powder can be placed, 5 though for convenience, the tray in this drawing is shown empty. The tray E is formed of the elements F and F, each element having a perpendicular flange at right angles to the body of the tray, H and H. w The flanges H and H have integrally formed thereon hinged forming members and with the mirror K are joined together by a pintle M. Preferably. the flanges H and H are formed integrally from the same sheet of metal as F and F, the flanges H and H serving as separators for the discs of toilet powder placed in the halves F and F. hen desired, the halves of the tray may be folded upon each other as shown in Figure 5.

It is also apparent that a tray of this con struction can be substituted in the other half of the compact holder where the toilet compact D is shown,-so with the compact holder having this improved tray construction, it would be possible to have four different cakes or compacts of toilet powder or rouge in a compact holder of ordinary size. The tray E is held within the member A by means of depressions R shown in Figure 1 and the tray E may be removed by pressure upon the member A.

I do not, however, herein claim any novelty in this form of holding the tray E within the compact holder, the novelty herein consisting in the form of holderfor a toilet powder compact as shown in detail in Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim is:

1. In a compact holder, a compact holding tray divided by a hinge in the center thereof, so that the halves of said tray are foldable upon each other, each half of said tray being adapted to hold a semi-circular compact of a cosmetic in solid form.

2. In a'compact holder, a circular tray divided'in the center thereof, a flange on each halt of said tray at rightangles thereto, the top oi said flanges being connected by a hinge so thatthe halves of said tray are toldable upon each: other.

3. In a compact holder, a tray divided in halves, afiange on each half at right angles thereto and integral therewith, said flanges being connected to each other by a hinge.

l. In a compact holder, a tray divided in halves. said halves being connected and toldable upon each other bya hinge, and retaining means on each half adapted to hold a powder compact.

' In testimony whereof I atfix my signature.

WILLIAM G. KENDALL.
